By the idea that their belatedly–registered copyright should apply to similar code written independently in different languages? By the amazing contention that an open-source version of a network visualization tool would have ‘national security implications’? Or by the notion that those who call themselves ‘hackers’ are advertising to the world their intent to break the law?”
